The Construction Equipment Market in Indonesia to Grow at a CAGR of 10% over the Period 2013-2018
M2 - Mon Mar 10, 12:10PM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/w98w4v/construction) has announced the addition of the "Construction Equipment Market in Indonesia 2014-2018" report to their offering. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increasing investment in the Infrastructure industry. The Construction Equipment market in Indonesia has also been witnessing an increase in the adoption of construction equipment on a rental basis. However, the increasing cost of construction equipment could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. Key vendors dominating this space are Komatsu Ltd., Hitachi Construction Machinery Co. Ltd., Caterpillar Inc., and Kobelco Construction Machinery Co. Ltd. Other vendors mentioned in the report are AB Volvo, Doosan Heavy Industries and Construction Co. Ltd., and Sany Group Co. Ltd. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: Though several organizations across industries prefer the latest construction equipment technology in order to improve their productivity, several SMEs find it difficult to buy such equipment because of the high cost. In addition, the growing competition among vendors is forcing vendors to differentiate themselves from other vendors by providing innovative and value-added services. Therefore, construction equipment vendors are offering equipment on lease. Hence, some construction equipment vendors have started offering equipment such as excavators, wheel loaders, motor graders, crawler cranes, truck cranes, and truck mounted cranes on a rental basis. This allows cost-driven organizations in developing countries to opt for the latest technology construction equipment at minimal cost, thereby improving their operational productivity. Thus, the option of renting construction equipment encourages customers to use a wide range of construction equipment. According to the report, the Construction Equipment market in Indonesia is witnessing many growth drivers including the increasing investment in the Infrastructure industry. The Infrastructure industry in the country is attracting a high level of investment due to various construction projects to develop transportation, housing, and energy infrastructure facilities. Further, the report states that the increasing cost of construction equipment due to the rising prices of raw materials is one major challenge.
